Grateful Dead - 1977-10-16, LSU, conversation on tape after Dire Wolf:
Guy: "Man I figured out what you need" Taper: "What?" Guy: "You need a hard hat with two microphones on either side so you can go up by the stage and not have to hold those microphones. You'd look like a blithering idiot though." Taper: "Are you gonna pinch that girl's ass?"
Recorded December 2012 with members of Ghost Ensemble. Sky Macklay - oboe Ben Richter - accordion Hannah Levinson - viola Damon Loren Baker - percussion

And of course hat mounted stealth microphones became a thing. As did pinching girl's backsides - not that I would condone such activity... unless asked...
You are a braver man than I if you can stand to listen to TD's version of House of the Rising Sun, and that's coming from someone happy to (try and) defend Bent Cold Sidewalk as a meaningful lyric ;-)
I was in love with their work in the 70s - buying each album (or sometimes getting promos from Virgin) as they came out. When "Cyclone" arrived and they had decided to add a singer ("Bent Cold Sidewalk"), I was absolutely crushed. I didn't think that "Force Majeure" was as bad, so I stuck with them until about the mid-80s when they just became unbearable.
Also, Froese started re-releasing his great solo albums in completely, almost unrecognizably, different remixes as if he were ashamed of those original albums. I thought that he had completely lost it by then.
I will say that I jumped at the chance to see them at Loreley about 9 years ago because Klaus Schulze was opening and I could fulfill a teenage (tangerine) dream (albeit, an altered one).
@djh - I stopped what I was doing and concentrated or a few moments, thinking "that sounds like house of the rising sun" before checking the title on my phone. I moved on to:
from the eMu bargains thread...good music for a rainy day
One of a selection in my local library, it seems whoever is dealing with the new intake down there has some very good taste, a few more new ones to listen to.
